What I am interested in is a chart that shows the directions that the batters are batting into. I want this to be able to compare the wind direction to the batting direction. This would make picking the under/over easier when considering environmental factors.

"A hit that would have flown 400 ft at sea level would carry to 430 ft in the thin air of
Coors Stadium. This permanent effect of Denvers high altitude is duly noted by the
oddsmakers, however, resulting in totals typically in the 12-14 range, reducing the
opportunity to simply bet OVERS and win most of the time. "

"Wind. Air moving along in the same direction the ball is flying pushes back less
on the ball, allowing it to travel farther. In fact, the wind is very often the
single most important thing to consider about the weather when betting baseball
totals. A 400ft shot in calm conditions would turn into a 445ft blast with a 15 mph
wind directed out to center field."

Read the rest *******

So.... Hopefully one of you have this info.

I love betting the uder over in bases and would love to have this kind of info. Last year I had a high point of about 35 units up on the totals bets. I want to repeat the success, and knowing the direction of the batters and stadiums would help.

Hey Expert,

Be careful with this system. While it should be useful, don't always assume wind direction translates to carrying the ball.
These days, the modern parks are (obviously) huge structures that block typical wind patterns and create their own.
For instance, a 20 mph wind blowing in from right field at the Ballpark in Arlington is actually a boon for batters.
The wind blows in from above the walls, hits the stadium seats inside, then reverbs back out to the outfield, creating a jet stream that blows fiercly into the face of the flags atop the stadium.
To use this system, check out all the unique effects of each park first.
